Last night we headed down to the Gypsy Parlor on Grant Street. The atmosphere was pretty cool. I would have never expected this place over there. I guess I just barely leave Allentown so I don't know what's out there.

The food was great. I wish I snapped some pics of it. We had a lamb burger, poutine (which is fries covered in gravy and cheese curds), Burmese egg rolls, Pastilllos.

The bartendresses were hot and had great gypsy coin jingle skirts. They also had a large dancefloor and DJ.

The drink specials all sounded tasty and were reasonably priced but I stuck with wine as that is how I started the evening. They had a delicious malbec.

For years I would just drink vodka and tonic water but I am tired of tonic. My new favorite drink is absolut flavored vodkas and water as the mixer. Of all of them, my favorite so far, is either the Ruby red or the citron. Haven't tried pear yet and the peach was not as good as the citrus ones.

Terry's new favorite flavor is vanilla.

Mike has turned getting ill into a near Olympic sport.

I ate a hot dog with nacho cheese from a street vendor.

Wish me luck on my next plane flight. The one I just got off of was pretty turbulent.

Last night they had HIV testing at Cathode. A bar seems like such a weird place to have HIV testing. I would imagine being drunk at a bar might not be a good place for getting possibly devistating news.

That sucks. Never been there I guess with Cinco De Mayo they Id everyone before you go in. I had that same problem at Cozumel a few years ago but the guy let me in, but he almost didn't. Not sure why an expired lincanse makes the chances of it being a fake higher but I do some places they check that and some places they don't. Hope you at least where able to salvage the night.
